“…Young Master, are you really going to do such a crazy thing?”
It has already been a day since I told Kania of my plans.
So, as I was getting dressed to go to the prom to decide Clana’s engagement party, Kania spoke to me about the story I was talking about yesterday.
After wrestling with her yesterday, I ended up going to the classroom without even taking a breath, and since then I’ve been babbling on her words.
But now, seeing her blocking the door and shedding a black aura, if I ignore her again this time, Satan will rise.
“Then why don’t we just keep our eyes open and watch Clana get engaged to these stellar bastards?”
“It’s like that too…”
So Kania, who had been silent for a while at the words I had to bring out, sighed and opened her mouth.
“Clana-san must have ideas for everything. Maybe you can solve it yourself…”
“Kania, have you finished all investigations into the five candidates for Clana’s fiance?”
“…yes.”
“Then, start reciting the first fiance.”
After hearing my words, Kania hesitated for a moment, then took out her notebook and started to rummage.
“Yes… First of all, my first fiancée… is the head of the marquis’ family, now 53 years old. Three sons and one daughter…”
“…next.”
“The second to fourth are all the same as the Young Master. Of course… Young Master as a false evil.”
“Fifth?”
“As a man well known for his lewdness, rumors say that all the women who passed through him are ruined…”
“Okay, you can understand why I’m doing this just by looking at that.”
As I spoke with a slight frown, Kania coughed and opened her mouth.
“I’m just worried about Young Master.”
“It’s okay, you haven’t done this once or twice, have you?”
“Isn’t the opponent the Imperial Family? No matter how much raw meat in the Empire is, even our Starlight family…”
“…don’t worry about that.”
As I spoke firmly, Kania began to tilt her head.
“Even if things go wrong, the imperial family won’t touch our family right away.”
“…why?”
“Because there are oaths that the hero of 1000 years ago, the ancestor, made with the imperial family.”
Upon hearing that, Kania asked with an expression of incomprehension.
“…does that work?”
“Whether it works or not, you’ll see.”
While I finished speaking with a confident expression on my face, Kania put her notebook down on the desk with a clattering sound and pouted her mouth.
“So, what are you going to do with the rearrangement?”
“Well… is there really any need for a follow-up?”
As I said scratching my head, Kania put her hand on her head and started shaking her head.
“Young Master… I don’t know if he was great or stupid.”
“You must be foolish. How many people are greater than me.”
“I’ll definitely do that.”
When I see Kania looking at me with a liberated expression, I smile for some reason.
“Kania, I like your hard but perfect side as a butler… but I think it’s nice to see that honest side you show occasionally.”
Upon hearing this, Kania hardened her expression and began to apologize to me urgently.
“I’m sorry, Young Master. I was rude…”
“It’s okay, from now on, in front of me, please don’t be too conscious of your appearance.”
“Is that so? Then…”
After hearing my words, Kania looked at me with a bright smile for a moment, then scratched her head with a troubled expression and said:
“But thinking about it, I think I’m more comfortable with this look.”
“why?”
“I grew up maintaining this image since I was young… The thought of throwing away this image makes me anxious again.”
“Well…”
I looked at her for a moment, scratching her head with a shy expression on her face, and then quietly offered her a proposal.
“Um… Would you like to go out together soon?”
“yes?”
“If it’s something an ordinary girl your age would do, you know how…”
At that, Kania said with an absurd expression on her face.
“I know about that. Isn’t it because I don’t know that?”
“That’s right, it’s not that I can’t because I don’t know. So let’s try it together.”
Kania, who looked at me blankly for a moment at those words, understood the meaning of my words, and bowed her head.
“Yeah, you can do that with Clana-san and Perloche-san too.”
“Clana is busy these days, so I won’t have time, and if I keep hanging out with Perloche, it’s going to have a bad effect on you, right?”
“However, if Young Master and I are caught hanging out, it’s going to be quite troublesome.”
“…as my employer and butler, is there anything in particular that I am having trouble with?”
As I tilted my head, Kania said with a look as if she was asking something obvious.
“Young Master, shouldn’t you commit False evil?”
“If I take the nuance of trying to seduce you, and you take on an unpleasant appearance, there’s no problem, right? It’s something you do every day in the first place.”
“That’s right, no… that’s not a problem, is it?”
At the end of my continued words, Kania raised her head and asked, blushing.
“Why do you have to treat me so well?”
“Um… well.”
I answered her with a small smile.
“Since I was little, I’ve always wanted you to be kind to me.”
“……..”
As I spoke with a faint expression on her face, Kania, who bit her lip for a moment, opened her mouth quietly.
“So, when…”
“After this prom and the raid is over.”
“Yeah, I see…”
After quietly nodding her head, Kania suddenly frowned and raised her voice.
“Now that I think about it, isn’t this a problem now? So, how are you going to deal with it?”
“Like I said, I’m not going to do it.”
“What the hell is that…”
“I intend to take the aftermath of the incident I cause until Clanna gathers strength to fight it. So in the first place, it can be done secretly, but partly, it’s going to explode at the ball.”
“Are you serious?”
“Yeah, it’s a chance to protect Clana from bastards and raise my notoriety.”
After hearing this, Kania finally gave up trying to persuade me, gave a liberated look on her face, and sat down next to me, who was sitting on the bed.
“If the imperial nobles were all full of people like the Young Master… the Empire wouldn’t be like this, would it?”
“…well, I don’t know.”
After hearing my words, Kania looked at me shyly and said,
“I’m sure it wouldn’t have happened.”
“Thank you so much for that.”
“Then, let’s start slowly.”
We got up from the bed at the same time as those words, and we got out of the dormitory and started heading to the carriage waiting outside.
“By the way, Serena-san, have you thought about how to prepare?”
“…ah.”
We talked about a topic that we had been thinking hard about all day yesterday, but in the end we couldn’t find an answer.
.
.
.
.
.
“Fray Raon Starlight, the first son and provisional head of the Starlight family, will enter.”
When I brought Kania into the banquet hall where the ball was being held, everyone’s attention began to focus on me.
“…You’re getting a lot of attention again.”
“Because it’s a Starlight.”
Originally, I was always noticed as a main person and a person of interest when attending parties or banquets, but at the banquet I attended today, it is worse than usual.
In fact, the interest I have received as the first son of the Starlight family and the next head of the family is inevitably different from the interest I have received as a temporary head of the family.
This is because the status of the Starlight family is so overwhelming in the Empire.
“It’s like a pack of wolves that have found their prey.”
As the people who had always looked at me or paid bribes, and people I knew a little bit about, began to flock to me, Kania whispered with a tired expression on her face.
“Cania, can’t we brainwash them all?”
“…black magic is not omnipotent.”
When I asked Kania like that softly, Kania sighed and answered.
“…I was joking.”
In the end, I smiled bitterly and started dealing with the people who came right in front of me one by one.
“I’m sorry about your father’s work. I have to visit you once.”
“It is very sad that the head of the Starlight family, who is the pillar of the empire and benevolent, has fallen…”
“…Thank you very much for your concern.”
Occasionally, I would shoot at innocent people asking for my father’s well-being and say thank you in a clichéd way.
Of course, the main point was a story about solicitation and bribery, spoken in a formal and civilized way.
“Thank you for your interest, everyone. But I don’t think this is what we’re going to talk about here.”
I was sweating while listening to conversations full of pretentiousness and pretentiousness for a few minutes like that, and in the end, I started to try to get out of my seat by using a formal tone that I had never used much because I was doing something false evil.
“Well, my mailbox is always open. Why don’t you share the unfinished story there?”
When I dismissed the method of sending bribes and solicitations in a fairly formal tone, the nobles let me go with a slightly regretful expression on their faces.
“…the ones who got jingle jingle. Somehow, my eyes went back to make friends with me.”
“That’s it.”
“Keep all the bribes and solicitations that these guys send you. We’ll have to use it sparingly later.”
“All right.”
After afflicting myself with the nobles for a few dozen minutes, I got evidence that would contribute to cleaning up the empire in the future.
“Hello, silver-haired master?”
“Hey, do you have time?”
“I was having a tea party, would you like to join Mr. Frey?”
This time, she was surrounded by many young girls.
“Umm… I’m sorry, but I’m hungry.”
After suffering for a few decades by the nobles who have already mastered social skills and social skills, I don’t feel like dealing with young girls who just look young to me. started to stick
“Then that’s great! I just prepared a lot of sweets and desserts imported from abroad!”
“But, wouldn’t it be rude for me to join the Lady’s tea party?”
“But, Mr. Frey doesn’t make much of a difference even if we’re stuck with each other, isn’t it?”
“…ha.”
In this situation, if I took it out any longer, the image of a horny person who shows a woman like crazy could be destroyed, so I opened my mouth with a smile.
“Yeah, I tried to restrain myself today, but I can’t help it.”
Hearing that, the young girls started to croak, and I looked at them with dead eyes, and I started to tremble, thinking that I had to leave the place after giving a little light to the atmosphere…
“Ugh.”
“Ugh.”
“Huh?”
Suddenly, the young girls grabbed their stomachs all at once and started sweating.
As I was tilting my head in such a sudden situation, Kania, who had been standing quietly next to me until then, began to speak in a low voice.
“I heard that there are a lot of people who have gotten sick from eating foreign sweets these days… Did the young girls also get sick from eating sweets?”
At that, the girls raised their eyebrows and staggered and started to greet me.
“Well then… we’re just…”
“Fray… the tea party is next time…”
– Curl up!
“…Hey!”
After saying goodbye, the young girls started running to somewhere.
“Kania, look into the brands of sweets that the girls ate. It must have been something…”
“Young Master, would you mind pouring some star mana into your hands?”
Looking at these young girls, I felt suspicious and tried to order Kania to investigate the sweets, but Kania stopped me and asked me to use the mana of the stars out of nowhere.
The last time I drank the highest-quality mana-generating potion, my body was still overflowing with mana, so I started pouring star mana into my hands without thinking, and Kania suddenly grabbed my hand.
“Kania? What are you doing…”
– Chewy profit…
“…no way?”
Then, as smoke rose from her hand holding mine, I opened my mouth and began to look at her.
“I have a lot of stomach ache these days… I know how to make my stomach hurt.”
“…and what if you get caught?”
“It’s a one-shot curse. By the time you go to the bathroom, it will be difficult to find any traces unless Mr. Perloche comes.”
“still…”
Of course, thank you for helping me and I believed in her skills, but I was still worried, so I tried to say something to her, but when I saw Kania’s determined expression, I kept my mouth shut.
“Let’s go.”
“…yes.”
Then Kania walked away with a satisfied smile, and I scratched my head and started following her.
I don’t know why, but I feel like I’ve become a mouse since before.
.
.
.
.
.
“Confucius, aren’t you drinking today?”
“…I’m not feeling well.”
“Oops! As long as Confucius doesn’t drink, it seems he’s very bad even if he’s in bad shape, right?”
After escaping from the wolves who sought the power of the Starlight family and the young girls who tried to kidnap me, this time I faced the temptation of alcohol recommended by spirits.
‘…I want to eat just one bite.’
I like alcohol very much.
Although my father taught that alcohol is the root of all evil, to be honest, what I do is work, so I naturally have no choice but to like alcohol.
Of course, now that my mental strength has improved, no matter how much I drink, I only feel a little bit better.
However, I still like alcohol because that slightly improved feeling was very precious to me.
Of course, I drank half a bottle on a fictitious day and then pretended to be drunk and played a chess game, so I didn’t really enjoy it.
“I can’t help it, let’s go play later when we have a chance.”
“Yes, you can!”
Of course, I decided not to drink alcohol because the work I had to do today had to be perceived by the people around me as doing it in a normal state.
I waved to my drinking buddies with such a disappointing expression on my face, and headed to the place where the sweets were, hoping that I would be able to fill my stomach now, and a pretty interesting scene came into my sight from afar.
“…Princess, so which one of us will you choose?”
“Would you mind telling me a little bit?”
“Hmm, even though this body is old, it’s better than these little bastards.”
Clana was surrounded by fiance candidates.
“You’ll find out after a while anyway. So, then…”
“Don’t do that… Can you tell me?”
Clana tried to leave the place with a very disgusting expression on her face, but one of the candidates began to ask questions in a squeaky voice and reach for her arm.
Upon closer inspection, it was the guy who was rated as a horny person.
“It’s rude.”
“oh.”
Clana, who was looking at him displeasedly, slapped his hand with strength, and after making a distasteful expression for a moment, he opened his mouth with a smirk.
“Well… Now that you’re just a candidate, you can make us feel like this, but when you get engaged, you’d better be prepared, right?”
When those words were finished, he began to look at Clana with greedy eyes, as did the rest of the candidates.
“…under?”
Clana, who turned her back on such candidates and quickly left the room, found me watching the scene quietly and opened her mouth with a sneer.
“…how do you feel? Am I funny?”
“……..”
As I was just staring at her, Clana passed me by with a cold expression and threw a word.
“If you had kept the promise you made to me a long time ago, this wouldn’t have happened.”
I closed my eyes tightly at those words, and Kania, who had been away for a while, approached me and asked.
“…what did you say?”
“No, nothing.”

Effortlessly avoiding the question, I headed to the center of the banquet hall with Kania, who had been waiting by my side until then.
This was because the main event of this ball was about to start soon.
“Emperor Lycan Solar Sunrise, the splendid sun of the Empire, and Empress Ramie Solar Sunrise are entering!”
As I was quietly waiting for the right moment in the center, the lights in the ballroom suddenly went out and I heard the cries of the servants.
And the next moment, the Emperor and Empress of the Sunrise Empire began to enter side by side.
– Shaah…!
Soon, the mana of the brilliant sun began to pour out of the emperor’s body, and those who witnessed it all began to bow their heads at once.
“…suck.”
Meanwhile, Kania, who is vulnerable to the mana of the sun, began to frown, and I hurriedly radiated the mana of the stars to block the mana of the sun from Kania.
“Ugh.”
Although most of the mana of the sun was blocked with the mana of the star, the mana of the star also had the property of attacking black magic, so Kania began to sweat more and more, and I secretly held her hand for her and gave her life force after a long time. it started.
“…Everyone raise their heads.”
After holding Kania’s hand for such a long time, the emperor collected the mana of the sun, sat down on the pre-prepared throne, and declared with a solemn voice.
By the way, I was holding my head up. This is because the Starlights and Moonlights have no obligation to bow their heads even in front of the Emperor.
Although I hate the pretentiousness and privileges of being a noble, I really like these various privileges that don’t have to look at the imperial family.
“The reason why the lords are here today, as you all know, is to announce the betrothal partner of the 3rd Princess Clana.”
At those words, Clana’s betrothed candidates, who were standing in front, began to shine.
“The method of selecting an engagement partner is… Ha-am…”
The emperor, who looked at those fiances with an annoyed look on his face, suddenly yawned as he continued speaking, rubbed his eyes and opened his mouth again.
“Ramier, you’ll explain it for me.”
After saying that, the emperor could not overcome Cao Jin’s lethargy again and sat down on a chair and started yawning.
“The method of selecting the fiancee… Originally, Clana, the third princess, was selected by herself, but it seems that there is room for a little problem.”
As soon as the words were finished, the servants began to shout loudly.
“The Little Suns of the Empire are entering!!”
Then the first prince, the first princess, and the second princess began to appear one after another, and finally Clana followed them with a pale expression on her face.
“I choose a companion to be with for the rest of my life, but I shouldn’t make rash decisions. So, I and the Little Suns of the Empire discussed and consulted and chose a suitable partner myself.”
Upon hearing this, Clana trembled and then bowed her head, and the first and second princesses began to look at it with a grin.
For reference, the first prince looked like his father, so he was just making a troublesome expression.
“Then, let’s announce the fiance of the third princess we’ve chosen right here.”
Having said that, the Empress stood up and slowly descended from the table and began to head towards the place where the fiancée candidates were standing.
Then the fiancé candidates began to swallow their saliva, and everyone’s attention began to turn to the empress and fiancé candidates.
“…hmm.”
The Empress, enjoying such a gaze, arrived at the place where the candidates were, and began to pass the candidates slowly, unfamiliar with the speed of her steps.
The empress, passing the old marquis with their hair bald, and those who were already drunk and blushing, the empress stopped in front of one person.
“…heh heh.”
That person was the horny guy who reached out to Clana earlier.
“Uh-huh, uh-huh…”
Clana’s lips, who watched the scene tremblingly, were bleeding from chewing too much.
“Let everyone know! Clana Solar Sunrise, the third princess of our empire, is engaged to…!”
Without even giving her a glance, the Empress smiled and tried to declare her fiancée to the public, but…
“Would you please wait a moment! Empress!!”
“…Hmm?”
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, and as I shouted out loud, he stopped talking and frowned and started looking at me.
“Fray Ball? What’s going on?”
“I have something to tell you.”
Saying that, I started to head to the podium, hurting the nobles who looked embarrassed.
“I don’t know what you want to say, but if you could understand the situation…”
I passed the Empress who was shooting at me with a frown on my face, and slowly started to climb the podium.
Then the imperial guards hurriedly tried to block me, but the emperor, with an interesting expression on his face, waved his hand and bit the guard.
After all, he is an emperor who likes stimulating and thrilling things because of his utter lethargy.
“…you, what is this?”
When I got to the stage safely and knelt in front of Clana, the nobles began to roar, and the prince and princesses began to look perplexed.
“Clana Solar Sunrise.”
In such a chaotic atmosphere, as soon as my words began, the ballroom was engulfed in silence, and in that silence, I laughed and threw bombs.
“I’ve been yearning you for a long time.”

Everyone froze at those words.
“No, no… what…”
Meanwhile, Clana heard my words and started stuttering with a shocked expression on her face, and I smiled at her and threw a bombshell again.
“…So, according to the oath, I hereby officially propose to you.”
And in the next moment, the ballroom went into chaos.
.
.
.
Meanwhile, right at the point where Frey made the bombshell remarks.
“…………What?”
Serena, who entered the ballroom late, began to stare at the stage with her mouth wide open.
And in her hand, a love letter that she wrote hard while coming here was fluttering.
Oh, jealousy strikes.
